Products listed in order of use

 

 

 

Purifying Primer

 

To even out skin texture before applying mineral powders, apply one pump of Purifying Primer with fingertips or A Fresh Start or Smooth Things Over  foundation brushes across cheeks, around lips (onto ‘laugh lines’) and across forehead.

  

 

Mineral Powder Foundation (Loose and Pressed)

 

         Full Coverage Mineral Foundation:  For full coverage application with mineral powder foundation use Plush Kabuki Brush*.  Dip brush lightly (swirl lightly into powder for pressed) into mineral powder and tap off excess powder.  Apply powder to clean, dry face in pressing motion starting on one side of face.  Repeat for the other side of face; then blend minerals thoroughly on skin (without additional powder on brush). 

 

*Kabuki brushes are essential to applying our mineral powder foundations.  They ensure that powder application looks natural and adheres properly to the skin and they prevent product waste!

 

 

Bronzer (Loose and Pressed)

For a natural bronzed finish to the skin, apply mineral powder bronzer with Plush Kabuki or Work It Out brush.  Dip brush lightly (swirl lightly into powder for pressed) into mineral powder bronzer and tap off excess powder.  Apply to areas of the face where you want a sun kissed glow (cheeks and forehead).  Make sure you have a very small amount of powder on the brush to avoid a ‘dirty face’ effect.

 

  

Blush (Loose and Pressed)

To create a natural blushing effect on the cheeks, use Work It Out brush.  Dip brush lightly (swirl lightly into powder for pressed) into mineral powder blush and tap off excess.  Apply blush to the apple of the cheek and blend up through the cheekbone.  Our mineral powders are highly pigmented; therefore, you need half as much on the brush as you would a non-mineral powder product.  Always start with less than you think you will need; you can always apply more.

  

 

Eye Shadow (Loose and Pressed)

For eye shadow application, use Brush With Greatness, The Eyes Have It, and Lighten The Load brushes.  Dip brush lightly (swirl lightly into powder for pressed) into mineral powder shadow and tap off excess.  Apply shadow by pressing brush onto lid then blending shadow (mineral powder and shadows need to be pressed onto the skin first before applying or shadow will brush off skin) in specific eye area for desired look.

 

 

Eyeliner (Loose and Pressed Eyeshadow)

·          Dry:  In order to line around the eyes with dry shadow, use Defining Moment  brush.  Dip brush into powder and tap off excess.  Apply to lid (top or bottom) where lid and eyelash line meet.  For a more intense but soft line, apply a matching shade of sketchstick first and follow line with shadow.

·          Wet:  For a strong eyeliner around the eyes, use water or (for a more water-resistant application) and Defining Moment brush.  Place a small drop of water into eyeliner in jar (or compact for pressed).  Stir with brush until ‘putty’ texture is created.  Apply to lid (top or bottom) where lid and eyelash line meet.  This technique is wonderful for 'smoky eyes'. 

 

Highlighter

To create a luminous glow to the skin, use A Fresh Start or Smooth Things Over brushes.  Dip brush lightly (swirl lightly into powder for pressed) into mineral powder highlighter and tap off excess.  Apply highlighter to face in areas you want to look luminous (forehead, brow bone, upper cheekbone).  Apply to décolletage area and/or upper arms for body application.  For a more natural 'glow from within', apply a little more Glow Balm to cheekbones, outer temples and browbone.
